Assignment 7- Garrett Uebelhor

First off, let me just say how disappointed I am I cannot write about probably one of the top 3 drummers of all time. If John Bonham (Led Zeppelins drummer) had lived for just a little bit longer, I could write with the enthusiasm English teachers want you too.  But since that is now impossible I will do my best to be intriguing about another topic.  On Oct 3, 1789 Washington did the most significant thing of the whole revolutionary era. He gave me a day off school. Well actually more than one day, for his proclamation for a day of thanksgiving and prayer now gives us at least 2 days off.  This was extremely positive as it allowed us to group together and further our sense of national unity…just kidding.  What it really did and remains to do is give us much needed time to dismiss the stress of work/school.  So yes it does influence the nation, the city, and more importantly me.  It gives American citizens time to see their families and to really remember how one should treat life.  In the whole spirit of thanksgiving I do give thanks for the holiday, I very much appreciate it. It is probably about the fourth chief happiness in my life, behind summer, spring, and winter break of course.  With this all said, it is clear that from Sep 29 - Oct 5 this is the historical event with the utmost significance.
